About the District

The Parkland Community Development District is a local, special-purpose government entity authorized by Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes as amended and established on August 2, 2023 by the Board of County Commissioners of Santa Rosa County, Florida, Ordinance No. 2022-12 as an alternative method of planning, acquiring, operating and maintaining community-wide improvements in planned communities.

The Parkland CDD encompasses an area of approximately 319.21 acres entirely within Santa Rosa County, Florida. The land within the District is generally located north of Berryhill Road, east of Luther Fowler Road, south of Willard Norris Road and west of Anderson Lane. The Parkland CDD expects to plan establish, acquire, construct or reconstruct, enlarge or extend, equip, operate, and maintain additional systems and facilities.

A Community Development District (CDD) provides the 'solution' to Florida's need to provide valuable community infrastructure generated by growth, ultimately without overburdening other governments and their taxpaying residents. CDDs represent a major advancement in Florida's effort to manage its growth effectively and efficiently. This allows a community to establish higher construction standards, meanwhile providing a long-term solution to the operation and maintenance of the community's facilities.
